Books Bring Joy and Literacy to Avondale Kids | Colorado Springs News

Third graders at Avondale Elementary are turning pages like pros, thanks to a book drop that feels like Christmas morning—thanks to KOAA and the Scripps Howard Fund’s “If You Give a Child a Book” campaign. Five new books per student at five Southern Colorado schools are sparking joy, curiosity, and literacy leaps, especially vital in Title One classrooms where resources are tight. Kids are logging their reads with pride, hugging their books like treasures, and even sending heartfelt thank-yous—because for many, these stories aren’t just entertainment—they’re lifelines. More books. More readers. More worlds waiting to be discovered.
